Netball: The English Roses have stunned the Australian Diamonds, setting up a series decider.
England Roses stun Australian Diamonds | 01:53The England Series will head to a deciding third Test after Australia suffered their first home loss since 2019 in stunning scenes .
But just three days later, it was a fearless England outfit who took to the court and demanded the respect of the Diamonds.“We’re not done yet,” she said.“My belief is pretty unwavering. I’m very stubborn … I will never falter in how much I know these girls are capable.” Heading into the final quarter, Thirlby laid it all on the line for her players stating “if there was ever a time to show up, it’s now”.Roses players celebrate the win over Australia.

“To come out here and beat Aus on home soil, people dream of that and some people never ever get to achieve that.“She was directing me on centre passes, she was letting the ball go, she was getting intercepts. I’m so proud of her. She’s an amazing girl.” “These young guns, they don’t have any fear. They are coming into this system believing England can win and that England should win,” Roses star Helen Housby explained.“There’s been a real changing of the guard,” she said of the England squad – with just five players from their 2023 Netball World Cup loss to Australia taking the court in Sunday’s game two.
But the bid for court time is likely to end in heartbreak for the trio heading into game three, despite the series tipped to be a fact-finding mission for Marinkovich in terms of the next wave of talent. “I think she’s going to revert back to Jamie-Lee Price in the side because she’s instrumental at winning back ball when they need it.”Marinkovich was forced to shuffle the deck late in the contest as she stared down her first loss on Australian soil.
Marinkovich said the Diamonds brains trust would reassess heading into the Third Test in Bendigo – but backed her players to get the job done.“As soon as we put a combination out there, we’re backing in that it can get the job done.”
